About Bunny Cactus
The Bunny Ear Cactus, scientifically known as Opuntia microdasys, is a popular and charming cactus species that belongs to the Opuntia genus. It is native to Mexico, specifically the central and northern regions, and is also found in some parts of the southwestern United States. The plant is widely cultivated as an ornamental houseplant due to its attractive appearance and relatively easy care requirements.
Key characteristics of the Bunny Ear Cactus:
Appearance:
- The Bunny Ear Cactus is a low-growing, clump-forming succulent with flat, oval, or paddle-shaped segments that resemble bunny ears, hence its common name.
- These segments are covered in tiny, hair-like structures known as glochids, which are actually modified spines.
- The glochids give the cactus a soft and fuzzy appearance.
Color:
- The cactus pads are usually bright green, and the glochids can be white or yellow.
- Be careful when handling the plant as the glochids can cause skin irritation.
Flowers and fruit:
- In the right conditions, Bunny Ear Cacti can produce small, yellow flowers that bloom at the edges of the pads.
- After successful pollination, these flowers can develop into small, edible fruit that resembles tiny reddish-brown, spiky balls.
Growth and size:
- The Bunny Ear Cactus can reach a height of about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) and can spread over a broader area due to its clumping habit.
Caring for the Bunny Ear Cactus:
- Sunlight: This cactus thrives in bright, indirect sunlight.
- While it can handle some direct sun, it's essential to avoid intense, scorching sunlight, as it may lead to sunburn on the plant's pads.
Temperature:
- The Bunny Ear Cactus prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate mild frost but is not suited for extended periods of cold.
Watering:
- Like most cacti, the Bunny Ear Cactus prefers dry conditions.
- Water it infrequently, letting the soil dry up in between applications.
- Overwatering can beget root spoilage and other issues.
Soil:
- Plant the Bunny Ear Cactus in well-draining soil, preferably a cactus mix or a blend of sand, perlite, and regular potting soil.
Potting:
Choose a container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil.
Propagation:
- Bunny Ear Cacti can be propagated through cuttings.
- Allow the cut ends to callus for a day or two before planting them by well-draining soil.
Pests and diseases:
- Watch out for common cactus pests like mealybugs and spider mites.
- Regularly inspect the plant for any signs of damage or infestations.
Overall, the Bunny Ear Cactus is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts, as it adds a unique touch to any indoor or outdoor garden with its distinctive appearance and relatively undemanding care requirements

Physical characteristics:

- These glochids can be irritating if they come into contact with the skin, so handle the plant with care.
- The cactus can have a vibrant green color, and some varieties may have a slight bluish tinge.
Caring for a Bunny Ear Cactus:
- Light: These cacti prefer bright, indirect light.

- Avoid exposing the plant to chilly air draughts or high temperatures.
Soil:
- A well-draining cactus or succulent mix is essential for this plant's health.
- Steer clear of dense, water-retaining soils that can cause root rot.
Humidity:
- They prefer low to moderate humidity levels, which makes them suitable for indoor environments with dry air.
Propagation:
- The Bunny Ear Cactus can be propagated through stem cuttings.
- Allow a cut section of the pad to callus over for a few days before placing it in well-draining soil.
- Water sparingly until new growth is evident.
Potential issues:
Overwatering:
- This is a common issue with cacti.
- Overwatering can lead to root rot and other problems, so it's crucial to let the soil dry out between waterings.
Pests:
- Watch out for pests like mealybugs and spider mites.
- Regularly inspect the plant and treat it promptly if you notice any infestations.
Sunburn:
If exposed to intense, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, the cactus may suffer from sunburn, causing discoloration and scarring.

Not a bad start

Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC!
A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world.
• slow burn
• enemies to lovers
• who did this to you
Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined.
I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark.
The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about.
There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!

Fudge!
Format: Kindle
Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry.
That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there.
First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions.
That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point.
For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact.
I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
An intriguing story that played out slowly while introducing some unique characters. The story became quite fascinating to read as these same characters provided startling revelations to their lives. As their relationships evolve, more drama and mystery is revealed adding to my fascination. I can’t wait to read more.

Outstanding Story!!!!!!!
Format: Kindle
Oh I loved this story. Sera is such an amazing, fun character. She has so much fire inside of herself. She has humor that makes you laugh with her sassy comments. The guys are fantastic. I don’t feel as if we really have gotten to know who and what they are but they are such a mix of fae. The story is extremely well written and developed. It had me pulled in and didn’t let go. There was so much action, drama, and suspense. Then we get to the ending and goodness there is so much going on. This ending was a major cliffhanger and I absolutely can’t wait to see what happens next.
